In one month I'll start one year student exchange in Norway and I'd like to be able to communicate at least on a basic level with locals. Do you have any suggestions how can I speed up learning process?

As for now I completed 16 lessons of Pimsleur Norwegian. I'm thinking about learning from NOW but I'd like to hear your advice first.

Make a study plan and stick to it. Don't let the gamification of an SRS fool you into thinking you're learning a language when you're just learning isolated vocabulary words.

Watch any videos in Norwegian that you can find. Netflix has some, including their own silly but entertaining Lillyhammer series. I recently linked some YouTube videos from TV2 for school children. They also made videos for adult immigrants, but...they...enunciate...each...word and you'll get better listening practice from the children's videos.

I've started a series where I talk Norwegian normally (I try to talk clearly) on Youtube which you can find here. Every episode I make is with a full transcript in both Norwegian and English. Maybe that can help you? Good luck!

This is a really good resource for learning normal pronunciation, thank you!

p.s. a nice addition - but not essential - might be matching paragraphs to the time in the video, so we can keep track while listening. Add a [1:59], for example, to the start of each praragraph. The videos are short enough for this not to be a real problem, but it might help out the beginner.

Their using det isn't wrong per se, but as I've learnt it it's best to assume masculine for unknown objects, and neuter for more abstract things like actions. Therefore "do it with that!" would be «gjør det med den!».

But the reason for my correction is that they say, for example, «Hun har ikke den fordi den er ikke her.», which is wrong, because in a dependent clause the verb and adverb are swapped.
